Auto mystery mix grow

matthewmccartney Week 2 looking ok so far excited to see how these turn out I got my vpd dialed in my p.h at 6.5 and my light 24 in from canopy at 300ppfd and c02 at 400ppm good air circulation with my mars hydro fan. My 480 hlg meanwell quantum board style led light did amazing job on my last run and produced some pretty thick colas. I’m going to be running my migro uvb the last few weeks of flower to see if i can’t get some frosty buds. Also I’m about to start a couple of new grows in my hey Abby’s smart grow boxes excited to see how it goes will be logging as soon as I get them going.

matthewmccartney So far everything’s looking good. The VPD and airflow from my oscillating fan is dialed in perfect.#MarsHydroOlinFanIsDoingAFantasticJob#HLG480 grow LED light is dialed in at around450 ppfd My super soil mix is working good. The plants seem to be thriving.#SeedsmanThank youForTheGenetics.I’mGonnaTryAndGetMyselfASmartGrowAllAutomationGrowto ShowNowAndBeforeOfMyGrowToSee the difference in the quality of my flower. #ACInfinity #spiderfarmer#MarsHydro#vivosun. I don’t know which brand to go with to try the automation set up for the tent, but I would really like to see the difference in the quality of my flower by using one of their set ups. So if anybody has any suggestions or anything to point me in the rite direction let me know please and thank you.happy growing!!✌️

matthewmccartney We have officially reached Week 4, and the footprint is showing off some incredible genetic diversity. These plants are grown from a mystery mixed variety pack from #Seedsman, and because the genetics are completely different between them, they are progressing on totally unique paths. The top and bottom plants have officially transitioned into stage two (early flowering), throwing out their very first pistils. Meanwhile, the middle plant is still in veg. Even though it is a week behind, it is highly robust, and it is noticeably on track to turn out bigger and better than the others due to those distinct, vigorous mix-pack genetics. Caught the girls right as the lights kicked on this morning; they are shaking off a little early-morning sleepiness but looking incredibly full. Handled a thorough watering last night in a coffee-can-sized ring about 3 inches away from the stems. The pots have great weight to them now, and the roots are drinking it up after waiting out a solid 3-day dry cycle. My canopy training clips are doing an excellent job opening up the main node sites to maximize light penetration and flatten out the overall canopy profile. My current environmental setup is completely stable at 75°F and locked in at 62% RH, keeping the VPD status dialed in perfectly for this transitional phase. Air circulation is handled by a #Mars Hydro oscillating fan positioned just above the canopy level, while an Intertek 4-inch inline and exhaust system manages airflow. This is paired with an Inkbird humidity controller managing a Holmes wick humidifier to lock down day/night consistency. For lighting, my #HLG 480W Quantum Board with a Mean Well driver is manually dimmed to pull a precise 460 PPFD at a stable 24-inch hanging height above the plant canopy on a 16/8 schedule. As you can see from this week's progress, I am completely dedicated to documenting high-quality, step-by-step autoflower journals. Right now, I am manually balancing every single environmental variable using a mix of traditional analog gear, dimmers, and standalone climate loops to keep these girls thriving in my Mother Earth Jaws all-in-one super soil setup. I am actively looking to connect with a brand sponsor (such as #AC Infinity, #Vivosun, #Mars Hydro, or #Spider Farmer) to take this space to the next level. Documenting a dynamic variety pack like this Seedsman mix highlights how a grower has to adapt to different plant needs simultaneously. I have the cultivation skills, the community drive, and a highly tuned environment, but I am looking to step up to an all-in-one smart controller, automated ventilation equipment, and a smart grow tent setup. Putting a smart system to work in this footprint will allow me to showcase exactly how premium equipment performs in a structured, week-by-week public documentary. If your brand is looking for a meticulous, dedicated grower who captures clear visual progress and engages deeply with the cultivation community, let's connect, get a smart setup rolling, and show the community what your gear can really do!

matthewmccartney Week 5 Update: Transition & Optimization Entering Week 5, the canopy is responding exceptionally well to the current environmental parameters. I am maintaining rigorous control over the climate and root zone to maximize genetic potential and ensure a seamless transition. Environmental & Root Zone Metrics: • Lighting & Distance: Optimized to maintain ideal PAR/PPFD levels across the canopy, with height adjusted to prevent heat stress while maximizing light penetration. • VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit): Strictly monitored and dialed in to ensure optimal transpiration and nutrient uptake during this crucial growth phase. • CO2 Levels: Supplemented and stable to support accelerated photosynthetic activity under intensive lighting. • pH Levels: Maintained consistently within the ideal range to guarantee maximum nutrient availability and prevent lockouts. • TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): Runoff and input metrics are carefully tracked to monitor feeding efficiency and prevent salt buildup. • Irrigation Schedule: The plants are currently receiving 3 gallons of water/nutrient solution every 3 to 4 days, allowing for a proper wet-dry cycle that promotes healthy root oxygenation and robust development. The health, vigor, and structural development of the plants speak for themselves. I am looking forward to seeing how they finish out and am open to collaborating with premium brands looking to showcase high-performance genetics, nutrients, or hardware under optimal cultivation practices.

matthewmccartney Week 6 Update: The canopy is looking exceptionally healthy with vibrant green fan leaves, robust turgor, and no signs of stress as the plants officially transitioned into early bloom over the past week. Small, fuzzy white pistils are rapidly forming at every major node site, signaling a successful start to the flowering stage under the 480W HLG Mean Well quantum board with Samsung LEDs running at a perfectly dialed-in PPFD of 450 µmol/m²/s. Everything in the environment is on point, with the VPD stable at 1.2 kPa, day temperatures at 77°F, and relative humidity at 55%. The roots are thriving in Mother Earth Jaws super soil, showing optimal nutrient uptake with a runoff pH of 6.5 and TDS at 900 PPM (1.8 EC). The strict 3-day watering routine is working perfectly, using tap water that is aggressively bubbled with air stones for 24 hours to gas off all chlorine before being pH-adjusted to 6.5 to keep the organic microbes happy and avoid shocking the system. With the garden fully optimized and pulling peak performance from every component, I am ready to scale up my setup. For brands looking to put your premium gear, smart ventilation controllers, or advanced nutrients directly in front of an engaged, active community with a grower who delivers flawless documentation and maximum genetic expression, let’s partner up on my next 3x3 tent cycle and show the industry what your equipment can really do when pushed to its full potential. Thank you, Matthew McCartney.

matthewmccartney Week 7 Update: Maintaining rigorous environmental metrics, the canopy is excelling in Mother Earth’s JAWS premium soil under a 480W quantum board engineered with a Mean Well HLG driver and high-efficacy Samsung LM301H and LM301B diodes, with all target parameters precisely calibrated—including a stabilized VPD at 1.25 kPa, a locked-in root zone pH of 6.5, and a constant PPFD of 450 µmol/m²/s—while managing distinct phenotypic variations due to cultivating a Seedsman mystery mix pack, where the outer two plants are actively flowering as autoflowers, whereas the center plant displays standard photoperiod traits and remains strictly vegetative under the current light cycle; to drive all three to a successful harvest, the plan is to maintain the standard 18/6 autoflower light schedule so the outer two finish heavy flower development, utilizing strategic structural training and selective canopy management to restrict the center photoperiod plant's vegetative growth before ultimately switching to a 12/12 cycle for its individual bloom phase once the autoflowers are harvested; as a dedicated up-and-coming grower with a strong command of cultivation fundamentals, this project demonstrates a highly data-driven approach, making this diary an ideal platform for brand collaborations, equipment testing partnerships, and promotional sponsorship opportunities. #spiderfarmer #acinfinity #marshydro Ty, Matthew McCartney.
